After a weekend of footy which do you find more depressing?

At first glance it seems like a straightforward query, however taking pp's into consideration and the fact that JW is the messiah it's actually a tough one.

STOP THE PRESS,

A 17yr/old WAS NOT BOG in a tough contest?

WHAT RUBBISH, not worthy of a vote!

Are you an idiot ? No offence intended but what a stupid question. A kid playing his 3rd game of VFL football and he had one bad game. Oh god we should delist him.

This thread is a 'tongue in cheek' response to the results over the weekend and more specifically the general feeling around this place after a loss. In no way did I suggest that I'm dissapointed with JW's performance.

I'm bemused that I've had to exlain this point.

Hi guys/girls long time read, first time poster.

Not sure about this post Jarka, Watts playing badly yesterday didn't really bother me. Did you go to the game? I went yesterday and Watts seemed a young boy surrounded by bigger bodies, he was leading too early for the footy and his positioning on the ground was out of place. He wasnt playing as a leading forward just floating across the half forward line, when the ball was moved into the forward line it was already to congested for the likes of him to really have a go. The game yesterday was of poor quality and reminded me of a game of under 9's football where everyone was following the football. I hope where not going to jump of Jacks back everytime he plays an ordinary game, because yesterday showed he is a still a boy amongst men, and it will take him time to develop and play senior footy. :

To clarify, Jarka wasn't jumping on Watts' back.

Anyway, nice work on making your first post and keep them coming - particularly if you get down to Casey a bit, as it's always good to hear how the Demons players are travelling!

Jarka, prepare for continued misinterpretation of your thread :P

the thread is tongue in cheek because of the fact that a loss doesnt hurt nearly as much now than it would if we were challanging for finals...i walked away from the bulldogs game angry at the umpires more than anything

and on sunday, was looking forward to reading the jurrah, watts, hughes summary and only one of them played well and i was a tiny bit not happy...of course we cant put this much pressure on watts but jarka is not suggesting that so chill out.

so yes, fair question...i voted watts...i would have prefferred to read that watts had a good game than a win (if it hamperred us getting a PP) to be honest

Yeah, it was definitely one of those 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' situations :(

As much as I usually like your posts this one is stupid. Watts is a kid doing his VCE and the MFC is a club full of kids who are learning their craft. Watts isn't the messiah and to give him that tag is unfair on us and him. I am old enough to remember Barrassi coming back as coach and my dad using the same words. Didn't help.

Depressing - None of it. If you expect a kid to be the saviour of the club then you are missing the big point. We are well placed for 2012/13 but until then expect some disapointment. The kids will make mistakes but they will get less and less with game time.

Rojik, this thread was a tongue in cheek look back at the results from the weekend, highlighting the fact that people seemed more interested in JW's performance with Casey rather than a Melbourne loss due to the pp's.

Yeah, i agree, stupid.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
